Reviews
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
